With the continued quest for ever-higher performance, the unit interval (UI) for a data valid window continues to shrink. At a 1-Gbit/s rate, the UI is 1000 ps, shrinking to 200 ps at 5 Gbits/s and a ...

Volumes have been written about jitter, an indication of the complexity associated with timing uncertainty. Actually, timing errors are easy to measure. It is in the assignment of blame that the ...

As clock speeds in communications systems push into the GHz range, phase noise and jitter ” always key issues in analog designs ” are becoming increasingly critical to the performance of digital chips ...

The effect of clock jitter on digital audio performance is a subject that is never short of diverse opinions. It is one of those “conventional wisdom” topics, where everyone knows it is inherently bad ...

Satellite jitter, defined as unintended and rapid oscillations in a satellite’s orientation, remains a critical challenge for remote sensing applications that demand high geometric and radiometric ...
